Abstract

<p>Sōseki Natsume's novel Nowaki has been often read from an educational point of view probably because of its moralistic plot. Although the author-narrator's didactic tone certainly helps it look like a pedagogical textbook, the story actually is not about the relation between a teacher and his student but about the inevitable solitude of modern self which is represented by Takayanagi's futile attempt to escape from being alone.</p>
